Stress related disorders and diseases

As a medical clinic we offer the distinct advantage of approaching the treatment process with a more comprehensive level of knowledge. We utilize the disciplines of medicine, psychology, neurosciences and computer sciences to offer highly effective ADHD and autism treatment without medication.

Our treatment team cares for each patient’s unique needs by creating a custom-tailored treatment plan to maximize their improvement in quality of life and productivity.

Drug-Free Treatment

Founded in 1980 the Drake Institute has successfully treated over 12,000 patients without medication and its unwanted side effects. Utilizing non-drug medical treatment protocols, our record of clinical successes has far exceeded the performance of previous therapies.

Approximately 80% of all our patients achieve significant clinical improvement. About 30% of our patients come to us already on medication; in many cases we’re able to reduce or eliminate reliance on medications within 2-4 months, with sustained clinical improvement.

BrainMapping

Non-invasive QEEG Brain Mapping is analogous to a physician performing a throat culture on a patient with a throat infection to determine which antibiotic would best eradicate the infection. Brain Mapping gives answers to what’s going on below the surface.

The Brain Map analysis gives us important information to more effectively help improve the quality of life and productivity of each individual patient.

Neurofeedback

Brain Mapping data guides our development of neurofeedback treatment protocols which will enable the patient to strengthen and improve brain functioning, reducing their unwanted symptoms.

We have used this technology for 35 years because we know clinically it produces the best long term results for many disorders.

Neurofeedback is safe and can lead to long term improvement, unlike the drugs, because neurofeedback uses a learning process that strengthens and develops the synaptic connections in the brain. More About Neurofeedback >>
